<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><b>Software Engineer</b></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The Megason Laboratory in the
Department of Systems Biology at Harvard Medical School seeks to hire
a Software Engineer for participating in the continued development of
GoFigure. The lab’s goal is to understand embryonic development as
the execution of a program in our genome. We seek to upload embryonic
development into a virtual life form called the Digital Fish through
the use of genetics, molecular imaging, and information technology
(<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.digitalfish.org">www.digitalfish.org</a>). The Software Engineer will be responsible for
participating in the continued development of the principle software
application for this endeavor called GoFigure. GoFigure recognizes
and tracks cells in extremely large 4-dimensional (xyzt) image sets
and digitizes that data into a database. GoFigure is written in C++,
is cross-platform and uses Qt, MySQL, VTK (the Visualization
Toolkit), ITK (Insight Segmentation and Registration Toolkit), CMake.
The project is managed using Subversion, Doxygen for documentation
generation, CTest and CDash for testing. The successful applicant
should have a
strong background in programming and work well in an academic
environment. Interests in application development, image processing,
microscopy, and systems biology are also a plus.</p>
